Great Conversations features interviews with authors and writers, exploring books, writing and literary culture from Australia and the world.

Today's episode features Laura Elvery discussing her latest story collection Ordinary Matter.

Ordinary Matter celebrates an extraordinary group of women who have won the Nobel prize for Science.

Laura imaginatively recreates moments and imagines worlds that explore the creative lives that have changed the ways we look at science.

Told through a selection of vignettes and short stories; we have a brother remembering his sisters talent for painting, a couple reuniting on a train to Paris and a woman thrown into a strange and shadowy world of bureaucracy after an incredible find on a beach.

Join me as we discover Laura Elvery’s Ordinary Matter.
